    Hope Hicks is resigning! Apparently due to the Porter scandal but then she DID testify to the HIC this week, although she evaded some questioning, but did admit she had had to tell "white lies" in her role as Trump's comms director.

    If the Fire & Fury book did hint at a Trump affair, it's either her or Nikki Haley, and Trump has taken her under his wing in a major way...

    Yeah, well to be fair, the media has been prophesying Trump's imminent downfall once a week for over a year now. :shrug:

    Apparently, part of Steele's dossier wasn't made public earlier and cites a source (single, so take with caution) suggesting the Kremlin pressured Trump to change his mind about putting Mitt Romney at State, in favour of someone more likely to ease sanctions. Romney was notably hawkish on Russia in his 2012 campaign.

    Mueller has a new sealed subpoena for a witness wrt all communications with 10 Trump officials. Reportedly Mueller is treating the Trump administration like an organized crime network (which Mueller has a lot of experience bringing down) and it is believed this all goes back to laundering dirty money and selling official actions for bribes.

    It’s a juicy story, but it seems unlikely Romney was ever seriously considered. Part of the reason the admin. is having so much trouble filling positions is they refuse to hire anybody who has ever been critical of Trump.

    Jeez, his interview was fucking nuts. His big thing seems to be the hassle of having to spend "80 hours" (how's he arrived at that figure?) going through his emails. Oh, and the legal bills, of course.

    Fucker said last week the Mueller probe was onto something and "definitely isn't a waste of taxpayer money" and NOW he's crying "witch hunt!" like the rest of 'em.

    My guess - Roger Stone is the next link - he was in cahoots with Assange/Wikileaks since he was touting releases before they happened ("Wednesday it's Podesta's turn in the barrel!!") and was hooked up to him by Russian actors.

    Edit: Nunberg seems to think the same -

    Something happened to change Nunberg's tune on the investigation and Stone's name on that subpoena list is likely it - not the shit about Stone being his "mentor" (these fuckers would sell each other out in a heartbeat) but probably that Stone has stuff on him.
